It's not that simple.  He's got commitments on other days, things his Dad agreed to, and sports Dad insisted he sign up for.

At this point, I give him time one evening a week that isn't in the custody agreement, and he's invited to any athletic competition on Saturday.  But I can't magically make another day appear for DS to hang out at his house. [/quote]

OP do you feel you need to make this decision for your ex? He complains he has limited visitation time but OK's DS getting a job on his visitation days. Obviously flawed logic. If you have an email where he has given this the green light what's the problem? When he makes noises about the issue, refer him to the email.

Or am I missing something?[/quote]

I worry how this looks in court, and we just have a temporary order so we'll definitely be back in court.

I also find it frustrating, that he asked for more time, I rearranged our schedules to give him more time, and then he gave away the time he had.  [/quote]

You told him kid was getting a job.  If you cared about dads time you would have never agreed to it.[b]  He had no choice but to agree.  [/b]What do you want him to do?   If he says no, he’s bad for not supporting son.  If he says yes, you complain about him not visiting. [/quote]

Liar.[/quote]

Lair?  What does that mean?  Mom told the kid to get a job.  Dad cannot override mom.[/quote]

DAD AGREED WITH THE SON. DIRECTLY. READING IS FUNDAMENTAL.

Dad had no choice.  If he said no, he'd be the bad guy denying the kid a job.  NO matter what he does he loses.  This shouldn't have been allowed by mom.[/quote]

Oh noes, "being the bad guy".  Sorry but that's what parenting requires sometimes.  This man's personal weakness sets a terrible example for his son.

If the Mon said no, all of you would be accusing her of trying to control the dad.  It's the mom who can't win here.[/quote]

Mom should have said no.  Instead she says yes, puts it on dad to say no.  This is not him to blame.  Your view is twisted.  [/quote]

Dad said yes. Why is that so difficult for you to understand?[/quote]
